The FiveM project is an unauthorized alternate multiplayer service that contains code designed to facilitate piracy. Our policy on such violations of our terms of service are clear, and the individuals involved in its creation have had their Social Club accounts suspended.

A ban has been imposed on several mod authors following the release of FiveM, an alternative multiplayer implementation for Grand Theft Auto V. While it is understandable as it competed with the official online component (a la Sony and Bleem), many saw this as an example of Rockstar's toxic relationship towards modders and the direction Take-Two's subsidiary is heading.
